anidolic

— Doctorate students at our University can find in the Syllabus a course entitled Dialogues on Anidolic Optics. The inquiring reader might ask what anidodlic means. It is nothing but non-imaging in Greek, but (to us) it sounds better. As researchers in this field we cannot allow ourselves to deal with common names as charm or others used by the particle physicist, as we deal with a venerable and traditional science (old fashioned even, as perhaps we at this Institute are): geometrical optics, whose variational principles were already known by Plotine and other Ancient Greeks.
